The Value Of Rahway'sOnly Public Forum

Each Thursday evening during the fall and win-ter season, a group of men gathers at the Y. M. C.A.for dinner and an hour's discussion of various topics.The group is known as the Fellowship Club and Thurs-day evening will meet for its fourth session of this

~~ye"arr

millions of ballots in forty-six of bur forty-eight states.Many who call themselves Republicans may not besatisfied with the verdict, but as real Americans andhonest sportsmen they must bow to the edicts of publicopinion. To me, party plays little part in politics. Ithink that our Government, whether its affairs be ad-ministered by Democrats or Republicans, will con-tinue to add to its greatness. I t is only when you andI, the common people, lose faith that there is causefor fear.

There are no lines drawn at this meeting whichis the only public forum in existence in Rahway today.Men of all stations, occupations, political parties andreligion rub shoulders at these meetings.

At present, Robert A. Coan, a member of thepublic school faculty and a man who-possesses one ofthe keenest minds in the city, is attracting much in-terest with his keen discussions on the part liberalismplays in our daily life.

Following the talk by the leader, members sitaround informally and ask questions and expressopinions! Even those who say nothing find the dis-cussions valuable. They "get the other fellow'sangle." They free themselves of the care of everydaylife for a short period and leave such meetingsre-

It is interesting to note the reaction to the-Democratic landslide. Despite the f act that "bibusiness" was hNygDeal and all it stood for, the stock market spurtedahead when the final returns were reported. Twodays after election, the same interests that werepredicting doom under Democratic rule, were an-nouncing pay increases and extra dividends. Thisreaction is more than baffling to even the keenestof minds.

Can it be that "big business," terrorized by tfrpossible threat of reprisal, has gone stark-mad?hope not because my sympathy always goes to thunder-dog, but I am afraid that I would have a har<time-stringing along with the "captains of commerce1

and the "giants.of industry." J might be able, to kee]h H b H H l d ^ b l to-backfreshed.

Such sessions are educational. More forums of j pedal as fast as they have in the past few days. (Edithis type should be supported for the cultural wefare tor's Note: Ding is a pretty darn good pedlar, too.)of the city. The Fellowship Club is recommended toany man, regardless of his religion, politics, businessor social position.

(Editor's Note: This is the thirdof a series of articles analyzing theMeade report of the police investi-gation.)

One of the highlights of the$5,000 deluxe edition of the Meadereport is the case of former Lieu-tenant William E. Smith. Thisofficer's alleged conduct in privatelife placed him in a category farfrom enviable. It is one of thethings that your reviewer, out ofconsideration for the innocent vic-tims of the1 families^nvolvedrpre-furs Uipossible.

However, it cannot be entirelyoverlooked because it appears tofurnish a definite clue to the Iden-tity of the "political domination"-responsible^for-thedlsgusting;con-ditions supposed to have existed inthe police department.

In prefacing his 'remarks onSmith, thefliivestigator says, "Thisis a case which to some extenttypifies what has been happeningto your police department and de-scribes to an unmistakable degreehow. important a part politics hasplayed to its discipline."

of charges brought against Smithto 1930. He.was accused of as-sociating with the notorious "Red"Moran and his mob of gangsterswho apparently found a safe havenin Rahway. • Another charge ac-cused Smith of having a stolen carto his possession. Both chargeswere dismissed-by-^-the Common

Shortly after Smith's acquittal,the New Jersey State Police tracedanother stolen car' back to him,but no action was taken. Despitethe fact that some -things-remained-unexplained, Smith was promotedto a lieutenant in 1933. This might

be inigrpreted as an indicationthat'.lf the police were under "po-litical domination," they also en-Joyed a certain degree of politicalprotection.

There are no lines drawn at this meeting whichis the only public forum in existence in Rahway today.Men of all stations, occupations, political parties andreligion rub shoulders at these meetings.
